among the yes votes, speaker john boehner. here is what the deal means. no tax hikes for couples earning less than $450,000 a year. the vast majority of folks in america, your taxes won't go up. couples making over $300,000 per year get itemized deductions capped. costly alternative minimum tax gets permanently adjusted for inflation. >>> so the deal does not take up the issue of mandatory federal spending cuts. that has been deferred for two months now and then there is the 16$16.4 trillion debt ceiling. we broke through it earlier this week and the treasury taking emergency steps to keep the government running for now. the president seems to be in no mood for another long, dragged out debacle. >> one thing that i think hopefully in the new year we'll focus on, seeing if we can put a package like this together with a little bit less drama, a little less brink brinksmanship scare the heck out of folks quite as much. >> brianna keilar joins us live from washington. no more drama. let's look toward. what can we expect in round two of the fiscal cliff? will

those of the comments from speaker boehner. the house has gaveled out. we expect them back in about two hours. let's go to newbury port. caller: thank you for c-span. i do not understand where this $250,000 number comes from. i am 70 and have never been asked to make a sacrifice by any congress. it just seems to me that if the average income in most states -- to ask people making $125,000 or more, to ask them to contribute more, that seems to be a no- brainer. i do not see why people in this country are not ready to make a compromise. let's face it, we will either all have to pay slightly more taxes and accept the fact that our benefits are going to have to be lower than they really are -- i am in that bracket of $125,000 to $250,000. i am very comfortable, i could contribute more to the deficit, i just want to make sure that that money goes to the deficit in reality. it seems to me that that number comes up and is a political situation and what congress is really saying is that i am going to pander to the 98% because if i go to 125%, i will upset more o
